Chrysler is recalling approximately 91,787 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid SUVs due to a software issue that may lead to a loss of drive power. The recall affects specific models from 2022 to 2026, as noted in a recall notice from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that the software error could result in a vehicle losing propulsion unexpectedly, which poses a risk of crashing without warning. As of August 18, Chrysler stated it is not aware of any accidents or injuries linked to this problem.

The recall report explains that the issue stems from a reset in the Battery Pack Control Module that is misinterpreted by the Hybrid Control Processor. This misinterpretation can lead to a sudden loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.

The software malfunction originates from an overload of a microprocessor within the Battery Pack Control Module. Chrysler is currently developing a remedy for this defect. Affected vehicle owners will receive a notification by October 23.

Stellantis, Chrysler's parent company, has not yet responded to requests for further comment.
